They took-off and landed with all the same pieces.

Step 1: Put the front on.

Watch Boeing separate the C-Suite from the workers so they could "save a buck" and outsource everything? Then QC went to shit because they lost all of their institutional knowledge?

Airbus or Boeing? Because the people I know at Airbus who actually build the planes seem to be satisfied with their jobs.

Boeing, sorry for the poor communication
